I have obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts and Animation from The Art Institute of Colorado. I am proficient in software applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, 3D Studio Max, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premiere. I look forward to speaking with you!

I draw illustrations, doodles, and comics in order to express my thoughts, my sense of humor, and my imagination. I feel that what I’m thinking is better conveyed through visual form rather than through words. It is as if I feel creating images in place of speaking is a less self-conscious way to express my thoughts. Ultimately, though, I am still self-conscious and self-aware, and this shows through in my work, I believe. With this self-awareness also comes a desire to please or gain a reaction out of the viewer. I do this by instilling at least a little humor, meaning, or both into nearly every piece of art I do. Some of the major recurring themes in my art include a sense of solitude, strangeness, and silliness. I seem to be drawn to natural settings, landscapes, and animals: the natural environment can embody a sense of vastness and unfamiliarity, while animals can sometimes have a certain kind of simple, non-personal humor that I think is appealing. Usually I seek to have a fun, fictional, irreverent feeling in my art. I do not know how to best transfer that feeling until I’ve laid the pencil to the paper. I begin drawing and develop and morph my ideas through sketches and thumbnails. I enjoy the freshness of the first thought-to-pencil transfers, but will follow a finished idea up with the proper refinements. Often I will sketch and re-work something fairly extensively before finally completing the piece by traditionally, or digitally, inking and coloring my piece. My initial ideas eventually manifest themselves into the form of either individual illustrations, or sequential art.

I am old school photographer (52 years old) with great experience in most traditional techniques. In digital photography I use FUJIFILM FinePix S5pro because of its perfect colors&contrast ( I have 2 bodies with set of Nikon&Sigma lenses from 8mm fish eye to 300mm VR).Documentary of all kinds of places (outdoor as well as interiors) is my favorite skill. Panoramas (traditional with using Horizon S3pro, and virtual-360) are my specialty.
